Protests at Cairo International Airport

Ahram Online, Tuesday 26 Apr 2011

More than a hundred protesters gather in front of the LCG company at Cairo International Airport to demand their financial rights

Approximately 120 employees at the LCG Company and the Egyptian Company of Aviation Services (ECAS) protested today before their company at Cairo International Airport. Meantime, Mounir Sabet, brother-in-law of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, gave up his office at the company after he was sidelined as Mubarak and his family appeared before the General Prosecutor.

The protesters are demanding their financial rights which have been overlooked since 2005 when they were only given 60 per cent of their bonus. The issue began when those employees were transferred from ECAS to the LCG Company, which is made up of ECAS, the Egypt Air Company and the German Company for financing aircrafts with meals.  After signing their departure documents, the employees were not given the promised bonuses.
